Unexpected: Orochimaru Appears!
Unexpectedly, Orochimaru appeared!
"This power... is it a new Kekkei Genkai?" Oyashiro En's blood-red eyes were fixed intently on the lightning bolt shooting into the sky. His Ketsuryūgan Eye possessed a similar ability to observe Chakra as the Sharingan and Byakugan.
"Lightning Release? No, that's electricity... How interesting. I love collecting all sorts of interesting Kekkei Genkai. But this prey is a bit fierce, very dangerous..." Oyashiro En coveted Shunren's power, but dared not approach rashly. He could only use his Dōjutsu to control the exploding puppet to test the waters.
Ten kilometers away, Shunren's Sensory Technique, the Mind's Eye, clearly detected Oyashiro En's movements. He raised an eyebrow and said coldly, "What an ungrateful fellow!"
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh~" From the surrounding darkness, more than a dozen figures darted out. Their eyes were glazed over. Although they were ordinary people, their speed was no less than that of a top-notch ninja. However, the price they paid was that, because ordinary people's bodies could not withstand the movements of ninjas, their legs were broken from running so fast, and the abnormal twisting of their limbs looked quite eerie.
She couldn't see, but she could hear what was happening here. However, Hezi didn't panic. She submerged herself in the hot spring and squatted there motionless. Faced with danger, standing still and trying not to be a burden to Shunren was the only thing she could do.
Quan also stopped jumping around, but being so young, she wasn't afraid of the strange and frightening figures in front of her; she just stared wide-eyed at Shunren.
"Boring." Shunren didn't make any move, only a flash of crimson light appeared in his eyes.
Sharingan!
With just a glance, the running figures seemed to be frozen in place, all losing their ability to move.
The best way to counter Dōjutsu is to Dōjutsu.
The eerie blood-red light that filled those people's eyes flickered in and out under Shunren's Sharingan, until it finally faded completely.
"Thump thump thump~" Ketsuryūgan's Dōjutsu was released, and all the exploding puppets fell to the ground.
At the same time, ten kilometers away, Oyashiro En felt a sharp pain in his eyes. This was not just physical pain, but a severe pain from his mental will linked to his Dōjutsu!
"Huff, huff..." His breathing became slightly rapid. Miyajo En covered his eyes with both hands, and it took him a while to recover. A complex mix of hatred, pain, and emotions flashed across his face. "This feeling of eye power... there's no mistake, the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan of Konoha?"
Through the exchange of Dōjutsu, Oyashiro En had detected the Sharingan in his opponent. Similarly, the opponent should have sensed his Ketsuryūgan. However, to his surprise, the opponent did not react in any way after learning that he was a member of the Chinoike Clan.
Oyashiro En sighed deeply, his voice low and somber, "History has been buried for so long. Have the Uchiha Clan members of today forgotten their former mortal enemies?"
This story takes place before the founding of Konoha. In the distant Warring States period, the Chinoike Clan offended the powerful figures of the Land of Lightning, resorting to eye to eye. As a result, the Land of Lightning hired the infamous Uchiha Clan to exterminate the Chinoike Clan. (This plot comes from the official novel "Sasuke Uchiha's True Story: The Light of Arrival").
Although Shunren was a time traveler, he had not seen this part of the story, and therefore knew nothing about the Chinoike and the Ketsuryūgan.
"A strange Dōjutsu, is it some side story I haven't seen?" Shunren didn't pay much attention to it. Although the Ketsuryūgan was strange, its eye power was probably about the same as the Three-Tomoe Sharingan. However, among all of Shunren's trump cards, he only used the Sharingan as an ordinary means.
"I hope you'll learn to back down now, otherwise... hehe~" Shunren closed his Sharingan, but for him, closing the Sharingan didn't mean retreating, but rather a sign of losing patience. This meant that when faced with the next round of provocation, he would use even more terrifying methods to crush his opponent!
This time, it seems that Oyashiro En also realized that Shunren to be trifled with. As he said, although the Chinoike Clan and the Uchiha Clan had an irreconcilable hatred for each other, the long passage of time was enough to fade all of that.
His hatred for the Uchiha now exists only in clan records.
On the contrary, his hatred for the Chinoike Clan intensified. Since being expelled by the Uchiha, the Chinoike Clan had cowered in Hell Valley, barely surviving. The cramped and harsh living conditions fueled internal strife. Oyashiro En witnessed his wife's brutal death at the hands of his clansmen, and his beloved daughter, deeply wounded by the clansmen's Ketsuryūgan Dōjutsu, not only lost her memory but also permanently stopped growing...
In response, Oyashiro En exacted a bloody revenge on the Chinoike Clan, slaughtering the entire clan!
A tragic history that evokes sorrow, yet in the not-too-distant future, the Uchiha Clan will also face the same path of annihilation...
Recalling past events, Oyashiro En suddenly lost interest in this Uchiha clansman he had never met before, partly because he didn't want to provoke him.
The blood-red color in his eyes gradually faded.
Oyashiro En closed his Ketsuryūgan, and the dissipation of his pupil power was sensed by Shunren. With a slight wave of his hand, he dispersed the Yin Release Chakra that was gathering in his hand, and said calmly, "A wise choice, this unknown extra."
"Is everything alright now?" Hezi asked softly.
Shunren leaned back and fell into the hot spring with a splash; the answer was self-evident.
Hezi breathed a slight sigh of relief; her body was finally able to move.
"Hmph! What kind of scumbags are they?" Quan pouted, looking annoyed, before resuming her hopping and skipping around the yard.
"Sigh, I'd better go back and continue training my lovely daughter." Oyashiro En planned to leave Yugakure.
However, just as everything was about to come to a close, suddenly, an unexpected figure appeared.
"Tsk tsk tsk~ No way, I actually ran into you in a place like this..." Oyashiro En's senses were good, or rather, the figure that emerged from the darkness possessed an unusually bloody aura that he couldn't ignore.
"Hey! Yeah, some things just happen by chance." The hoarse voice carried a strange, sinister charm, and the person in the shadows stuck out an oddly long tongue and licked it.
Oyashiro En immediately turned around. Facing the man before him, who resembled a venomous snake, he dared not turn his back. His eyes flickered slightly, and he said in a low voice, "Orochimaru, what brings you here?"
